"Light – Darkness." "Creation – Destruction."
Voices – many voices which called in the darkness. They sounded painful and nice – cold and calm at the same time.
After a long time of hearing these voices in his head, Sora finally woke up again. He could feel that he was lying on sweet wet grass. He opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was big grassland which was varnished with a big waterfall.
The sun was shining bride and just a few white clouds were at the sky.
Many bees buzzed in the flowers, getting their nectar and many butterflies flew through the grass.
Sora then stood up and began walking around…
Meanwhile…
Namine was sitting at the Islands, drawing a new picture of her, Sora and two unknown persons – a boy and a girl. Suddenly, a blue cloaked person appeared next to her…
Sora meanwhile reached a big building of blank brown and white stone. It was a big ruin of a once beautiful castle where meanwhile many different plants grew over everything. He still heard the voice inside his head, but now it was lower than before. When he turned around a corner, Sora saw what was supposed to be a library. Many books and pieces of paper were lying on the ground. Only a few bookshelves still stayed unharmed and instead hat lots of dust on them. Sora walked above two of many crashed down stones from the top and then looked out of that what he thought to be a balcony into the nature. It was really idyllic here. With a dreamily smile, he gave into this feeling of being one with the nature when suddenly someone said "Hello, Sora. Welcome to Light of Radiance." Sora shrieked and turned around. In front of him was sitting an old man with a generous smile on his face. He wore a blue and white coat and had a staff in his right hand. Also, he had long white hair and a fitting to it. "I am Master Cockerell, ruler of this world and keeper of many secrets and mysteries, but you can just call me Cockerell if you want." He paused, before he continued. "I waited a long time for your come you know." "Are you serious?", Sora asked confused. Cockerell nodded his head for a reply." Alright, ehm… and what do you want from me if I may ask?", Sora asked on. "Oh, let's talk about that with a cup of tea if you don't mind.", Cockerell replied and stood up. "Follow me." And with that, both left the library.
Later…
Sora and Cockerell were sitting in a small round room at a plentifully covered table, holding a cup of tea in their hands. Around them were lots of plants as well. "The reason I called you here is that the world is in terrible danger at this moment, we're talking.", Cockerell began after a while. "But why? We defeated Xemnas! Isn't that enough?", Sora protested. "That's true, yes.", Cockerell sighed. "But the problem is that there is another Organization which rose up for a while and tortures the worlds since that." He paused and nipped on his tea, before he went on. "They're called 'The Omega-Organization' and their goal is to capture all 'Chosen Maidens of Light' ." "The Chosen Maidens of Light?", Sora asked curious. "Yes.", Cockerell answered. "They're special persons which were chosen by each world to protect them if they're in big danger. When that happens, unknown powers awake in those persons which allow them to protect their world from any danger from the outside. And this power is what the Organization is after.", Cockerell then pointed at Sora. "You are one of them as well, that's why they attacked you at your home world." "Me?", Sora asked in shock. "Yes, and they're as well.", Cockerell continued and now pointed at a door which opened magically. In there were the lifeless bodies of Kairi and Roxas. "Kairi!", Sora shouted and jumped from his chair. As he wanted to run into the room, he was stopped by another man in blue. He had short black hair and silver wings behind his back. He just seemed to be in age of twenty. "Let me go!", Sora shouted and tried to go against his opposite, but the man was able to hold him back whatever he tried to do. "They need to rest, Sora.", he said, still holding him back. "Oh, I am sorry that I didn't introduce him to you earlier. That's my apprentice, Fidelious.", Master Cockerell put his ear in. Sora still looked at him. "And what happened?", he then asked. "I rescued them from the Organization's doings.", Fidelious replied and crossed his arms. "Don't worry, the islands are alright.", he then added as he saw the worry in Sora's face. "But… Riku! What's with Riku?", Sora asked on. "He's save and rests in his bed room.", Master Cockerell answered. "Can I see him?", Sora asked. "No, it's not time yet for that.", Cockerell and cut off an angered Sora. "Because we still need have lots of things to talk…." – But then, he was cut off himself by a sudden explosion outside. "What was that?", Sora asked now in shock. "They're here.", Fidelious replied and the three ran out.
At outside, the five persons who attacked the Destiny Islands were standing in front of the three heroes. "Master Cockerell.", the one who was supposed to be the headmaster of the group appealed at the old man. "Give us the boy and the others or we'll take you down for good." "Forget it!", Cockerell replied. "Alright, if it is what you wish for.", the leader said and flipped with his fingers. Suddenly, everything began to rumble and then at a cliff, a big claw appeared and grabbed the rock. A short time after, seven other claws appeared and then a whole body raised up from the ground. It was metallic and looked like a big octopus. The leader again flipped with his fingers and smaller Heartless which looked like the robot appeared at the battle field as well. "Take the old fool and his apprentice down and then, take the others in prison!", the leader ordered his allies and turned to his people. "Alright, let's get a move." And with that, he and the other members of the Omega-Organization disappeared into a dark portal of darkness.
Sora as brave as he was let his Keyblade and began battling the machine while Fidelious and Cockerell took care of the Heartless. "Thunder!", Sora shouted and built up the energy inside him which nearly made him pass out before he released it in time in a bolt which paralyzed the robot for a short time. Sora used that moment and again collected all his strength to cut off one of the robot's arms. Sora was able to cut off another one of it before the robot began walking around, causing many little earthquakes which threw him to the ground. "Ice!", Sora shouted and his thrown clump of ice hit another leg which became a blog of ice, not able to move anymore. Sora got up and ran to the leg. "Fire!", he then shouted, feeling the warm energy of live and security within him, before he shot it out as a fire ball which caused the frozen leg to break apart. Now, the octopus had problems to hold himself in balance. Now, it turned its head down, preparing a laser beam inside its eye. Sora just could manage it to climb one of the robot's legs before the beam could hit him. When the head came up again, Sora shouted "Fire!" and the released fire ball caused the robot's head to break apart. Just in time, Sora jumped down from the robot which fell down and explode. Lots of oil squirted and seeped out of it and smoke went out of the robot's head.
Sora, taking his Keyblade behind his shoulder went to Fidelious and Cockerell who had mysterious creatures behind them. They had lures behind their heads and long arms and legs. On their chests was shining a blue star."Nobodies?", Sora asked in shock and took himself into his fight position. "No, they aren't enemies.", Fidelious replied bored. "These ones are called 'The Spirittas' and are the ghosts of nature and peace. They only help heroes like you and me and not the darkness. At the moment and Fidelious are the only ones who are able to summon them. Maybe, we'll teach you how to summon them as well if you're in danger.", Cockerell explained to Sora who let down his weapon by these words. "But now come, there are still things, we need to clear out."
Later…
Sora, Fidelious and Master Cockerell were sitting in the tea room, again. "You see? The Organization won't give up, until they got you and all the Chosen Maidens of Light.", Fidelious began after a long time of silence. "That's right.", Cockerell agreed. "At this moment, all the other Chosen Ones are in terrible danger. Although they have high powers, they won't be able to defend themselves from these people." "So, and what am I supposed to do then?", Sora asked. "Your mission will be to travel all the worlds and collect all Chosen Maidens of Light, before the Organization can. With that, we'll be able to protect them from these crazy ones.", Cockerell answered. "Without the help of anyone?", Sora asked and Cockerell nodded his head for a reply. "The others need to stay her in order to be safely.", Fidelious replied. "I hope you understand that." Sora nodded his head.
"And maybe, you'll be able to find a way to break your curse.", a girl said and when Sora turned around, he found out that it was Namine."Namine? What do you mean? What are you all talking about?", Sora asked in scare as he first looked at Namine, then saw Fidelious wide meanwhile pall white face and at least Cockerell who let his head down, but stayed calm. "It means a terrible truth about you and the Chosen Maidens of Light.", Master Cockerell explained and looked deep into Sora's emerald blue eyes. "The truth is that you aren't the real Sora." "What?", Sora replied in shock."YOU'RE LYING, I AM ME!" "No, you're not. You once were a girl named Jenny who got tricked into your current form.", Cockerell replied. "NO, IT CAN'T BE TRUE!", Sora brought out in deep despair. "I fear it is.", Cockerell said and took out a silver shining hand mirror. "Mirror of Truth" was standing on it. When Sora looked into the mirror, he didn't see his own mirror image, but that of a seventeen year old girl. She had long brown hair which went down her shoulders, emerald blue eyes like Sora and full lips – she was gorgeous to make it short. When Sora saw that, he went down onto his knees and began to cry. Tears fell down from his face. He really wasn't able to hold that back. A short time after his beginning, Namine hugged him as only a true friend could do and then, Master Cockerell joined the two. "Thank you.", Sora sobbed and stood up.
As things went calm again, Sora looked at the still lifeless bodies of Kairi and Roxas. "So, they are…?", Sora began and Cockerell finished for him. "Yes, they also are victims of the Organization. They transformed you all into the forms of your original ones, since it would be easier for them to catch and control you than your real counterparts." "And what happened to them?", Sora asked on. "As far as we know they also got caught by the Organization and now are spending their days in the dungeons of the enemies' stronghold.", Fidelious replied. "But what difference would it make then if they already have them?", Sora asked on. "It's the fact they can control you by your memories which they can't at the real ones since they have a stronger will than you. Until yesterday, Namine here was used by the Organization to change your memories since their own methods of changing memories went out bad for them. She's a boy called Dilan by the way and the only not Chosen Maiden of Light in this game.", Cockerell explained and Sora looked in shock at Namine which surprise was still smiling. "She already knows that of her own, since she can control her own memories as well and was able to put them together of her own once again – a thing the Organization missed out.", Cockerell went on. "But still, they have another person who's able to control memories of others, so we won't be able to conquer the others back for good." "Can you… can you change me back then?", Sora asked on. "No, unfortunaly I can't.", Cockerell sighed. "I only can deepen your transformation as it already is if you want to make you feel more comfortable with your current situation." "Then, can you do that for me?", Sora asked on. "Alright, if it is what you really want.", Cockerell said and Sora nodded his head. Cockerell raised his hand and suddenly the whole room began to glow.
As the light went off, a black haired girl wearing a black cloak like Organization XIII used to was standing instead of Sora at that place. She went to a mirror and examined herself. The girl's name was Xion and used to be the Fourteenth Member of the Organization. Since Xion was a part of him, he could recall her memories for himself, so he/she wasn't so much surprised after all when she looked at herself. "Since Xion was a part of you, it was the only way for you to get used to this situation. You're now able to switch between this form and your male form.", Cockerell explained. "Like my old Drive Form?", Sora asked with a grin. "Yes, like your old Drive Form.", Cockerell answered, grinning as well. Then, Namine put her ear in. "Since the enemies powers are too strong, I only was able to rebuilt one memory of your old live again.", she said. "Thank you.", Sora replied happily and began searching his memories. And there, besides all his memories and experiences with his friends and enemies, he found indeed something different than everything else…
*Flashpack*
A girl and a boy where sitting, watching the sunset of their home.. "This is a really beautiful sunset, don't you think?", the boy asked. He wore a black polo shirt with green stripes and blue trousers. He also had spiky brown hair. "Yeah.", the girl said. She instead wore red top and black trousers. "By the way, thank you for saving me from that pervert, Kancho." "You're welcome.", Kancho blushed and slowly, very slowly, both then kissed.
*Flashpack End*
"You should rest now.", Fidelious said to a dreamy looking Sora. "Tomorrow, your journey begins."
Meanwhile…
In a big hall in white and black colors, there were 7 big pillars were people in dark brown cloaks were sitting on them. "So, our Exogan got destroyed by these punks?", one of them asked. "Yes, I think I made a mistake when I created It.", a thin person in brown replied. "You always make mistakes, don't you?", a third one said calm. "Enough.", the leader said, looking at his people. "I underestimated the fake Sora. He's much more brave and strong than I originally thought he'd be. But it doesn't matter. Cockerell already went into a trap, I even didn't have to prepare. With keeping Sora under his win and thinking of him as the Chosen One who could defeat us, he made himself an easy target for us.", the leader paused before he continued. "So, let's keep him his false hope as long as he can, because we soon will break them apart by taking away the other Chosen Maidens of Light. So, let's concentrate on our plan again."
The next day…
Sora went out of the Castle Ruins and went straight on when he was stopped by someone. "Sora!" "Riku? Riku! You're alright!", Sora called out, hugging his friend. "Calm down, Sora. You're really acting girlish now.", Riku replied. "Stop that!", Sora replied bothered and both began to laugh. At least Sora knew that this Riku wasn't a fake but the real one. "Is something wrong?", Riku asked as he looked deep into Sora's eyes. "No, I'm alright.", Sora replied. "So, what are you doing here?" "Well, didn't want to let you go without a fare well.", Riku replied and clapped Sora's shoulder. "However what it costs, do never lose yourself. And don't worry, we'll protect her from these people." "Thank you.", Sora said and smiled, before he went on, starting his journey which would soon increase into something you'd never expect.
Note: Yay, I think I'm going to get used to this system - it's my first story anyway. This whole thing indeed will get better by each submitted Chapter.
